Sanded & Polished my vent window frames today

[brihorse]

My black frames were looking pretty weathered so I decided to sand away the paint ( or maybe it was black anodizing ). Started with 220 grit, then 400, then 600, then 1200 ( hardware store didn't carry 800 or 1000 ) then hit it with metal polish. Did it all by hand with the vent still installed in the doors. Dremel tool probably would have worked best. Wouldn't call it show quality ( crevices are a pain ) but I would say very nice driver quality. It should hold me off for a while until I feel like spending $400 or $500 to have them redone in chrome.
